5x expanded by Flibirigit (talk). Self-nominated at 17:35, 31 July 2019 (UTC).
Can verify that the expansion was done on time, and other requirements have been met. QPQ has been done; Earwigs timed out for me so I was unable to check for close paraphrasing, but I will assume good faith on this aspect. All hook facts are cited inline and verified: the best hooks for me are (in descending order) ALT0, ALT1, ALT3, ALT4, and ALT2. I'm yet to give this the final tick because I'd like to ask you if it's okay for this hook to not go up as a special occasion hook, because the article states that there doesn't seem to be agreement as to his birth year or even birthdate (like how some sources say August 11 while others actually say August 1 instead).

- August 11 is the most widely accepted date supported by the most sources, which are also the most frequently updated. "Legends of Hockey" is the only site which has different dates, and even conflicts itself here and here. I am confident that August 11 is the correct date.

Okay then, I'll assume good faith for that information. I will leave it to the promoter if the special occasion request will be granted or not. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:20, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
